He needs to do his homework. Go back to a 4-3. hell, steal Greg Williams scheme if you have to. But this is no longer tolerable. He disgusts me.

You know you’re a bad team when you need Ed Hoculli on your side.

The coaches did not adjust a thing… That said, the officiating did appear one sided. No calls for NUMEROUS/OBVIOUS holds on Kerrigan. And any fan can see Logan Paulsen had a textbook block called a hold. Maybe Snyder telling Goddell to stick it will hurt in the long run…

Fri, 08 Nov 2013 19:17:18 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2223211#comment-2929739The Redskins fired Danny Smith because they weren’t getting big plays in the return game. Unfortunately, now they have a special teams disaster each week, and still get zero in the return game. Hiring Burns was an error as much as hiring McNabb was an error.

Furthermore, the playcalling showed Minnesota was incapable of stopping the short passing game and the run. So Kyle stopped the short passing game and the run….Seems to happen all the time, I dunno….Disheartening, really.
Defense-For all the love Ryan Kerrigan gets, can we get a sack against a 2nd-string Right Tackle? Just One??On 3rd and 9, why are EJ Biggers and Bacarri Rambo playing and not Meriweather and Amerson??

That’s just inviting confusion. And despite Paul saying it shouldn’t have been run, his explanation is so confusing it’s pretty clear he really still has no clue what they were supposed to be doing.

You want some cheese with that whine???

We all get and receive the benefit of bad calls. Some games it goes with and some against you. Geez, man. Accept you lost and move on. The whining makes you seem weak.

Outside of that one play, there were 8 more plays that either (a) extended the vikings offensive drives or (b) pushed the REDSKINS back into difficult down & distances.
Look – The Vikings are not Holy. They make mistakes too.

Fri, 08 Nov 2013 17:46:51 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2223211#comment-2929546This game really went to show just how close even teams with Bad records are to being middle of the pack. As was mentioned in the broadcast, the Vikings lost 3 games in the final minute that they led. Had they won those games, they would be 5-4 and tied for the lead in the NFC North.

But fact is they did not, and they are now only 2-7 and realistically out of it.

But people who watch football and judge a team solely on it’s record run the risk of running into what Dallas almost did, and the Redskins did… underestimating an opponent and getting burned.

How much more home field do you want? We were up 27-14 on the road & never scored again… We had 1st & goal at the one and didn’t run it in. The Redskins only have 46 players & the coaching staff to blame. If everyone is coming up the middle… Why can’t the Redskins try a fade pattern down the sidelines? Everything RG3 does is either in the middle of the field, screen, or quick out & typically focused on 1 receiver. The coaching staff/Mike Shanahan need to help him get through more progressions.

Two bad teams…one with even less discipline and control, and it cost them.
For this loss the fingers should be pointed at Shanahan, his coordinators, and the team’s veteran leaders.

Fri, 08 Nov 2013 17:06:07 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2223211#comment-2929441What a waste of a great game from RGIII. This is the Redskins football I’ve come to expect in the Dan Snyder era. Horrible pass protection giving up 5 sacks and numerous QB hits in the second half, bad defense forcing only one punt during the game, terrible special teams, and a multitude of dropped passes. How do you drop passes that hit you in the hands on 2nd and goal and 3rd and goal, and why couldn’t Santana Moss figure out how to drag his left toe on the 4th and goal fade?

Special teams and defense are the real problem with this team. The Vikings only had 1 punt. that tells you the defense couldnt stop them when they needed to.
Missed tackles are the disease of this team, and unless Jim Haslett can rally this defense like he did last year (which i doubt) he should be fired!

third and (distance) – Redskins get a stop! Wait there is a flag…..
motif of the night. Ed Hoculli stop it, please.

I’m glad these guys aren’t in charge of the nation’s supply of nuclear weapons.

The Skins dont seem to understand that an NFL game is 60 minutes long, not 30. I could see some of the younger players not being aware of this, but how long has Shanarat been coaching?

Your claims of games being “fixed” are lazy. The Washington Football Team is just not a good team. Time for Snyder to hire yet another head coach. One of these times he might actually hire a good coach.
